Stories of Changed Lives

Tough times don't last, but tough people do. Nick is one of them. A native of the Bronx in New York, the youthful, 38-year-old graduate of the Mission's Christian Living Program, happens to be a skilled butcher. He also knows something about the sharp knives of life in a big city.
